Usernames in tango.info have exactly 8 letters of the latin alphabet. Preferred are names that are related to your real name.

If you forgot your username, please see: tango.info username recovery

If you want to create an account see: create account

The 8 letter usernames can be used directly in URLs, e.g. http://www.tango.info/tobiasco

The username should not:

  • contain any of the words: tango, milonga, event, festival
  • be a name of
    • a geographic entity, e.g. a city "mannheim".
    • a person
      • common first name, e.g. "benjamin"
      • common last name, e.g. "pfeiffer"
      • name of person in tango history, e.g. Pugliese, Francini, Castillo
  • be a word (esp. not in English or Spanish)
    • singular, e.g. "marathon"
    • plural, e.g. "festivals"

List and examples

The list of registered users contains more than 2,497 entries.

Rationale for eight letter rule

  • users that sign up later shall not have the disadvantage of longer names, vs users that sign up early and get shorter.
  • presenting all username in a list gives a more harmonious picture if they are of equal length
